Overcast stitch The overcast stitch sews the seam and finishes the edge all at the same time. It is perfect for stretch fabrics. The sewn result is more elastic than normal seams, very durable and quickly done. Use foot number 3. Tip: When sewing, guide the fabric edge along the metal pin of the foot. Stitches will form over the pin and prevent the fabric from puckering. Note: For stitch width different than the default setting, test first to ensure that the needle does not hit the metal pin in the foot. Turn the handwheel to check the right swing of the needle. Closed overlock stitch The closed overlock stitch is perfect for sewing jersey knits. Durable stitch; great for attaching knit collars and cuffs. Use foot number 3. Tip: When sewing, guide the fabric edge along the metal pin of the foot. Stitches will form over the pin and prevent the fabric from puckering. Note: For stitch width different than the default setting, test first to ensure that the needle does not hit the metal pin in the foot. Turn the handwheel to check the right swing of the needle. Use the closed overlock stitch to hem stretch fabrics (A) and for belt loops (B). Fold a hem to the wrong side and sew from the right side. Trim away excess fabric. Use this technique to make belt loops, too. Overcast stitch 06 Closed overlock stitch 03 Sewing 26
